What else can I help you with?
Can you safely use JP-8 in over the road diesel vehicles?
Yes. It may not deliver optimum performance vs. diesel, but it'll work.
What is Jp 8?
JP-8 is a kerosene-based jet fuel, JP-8 is short for Jet Propellant 8.
How big is the tank of gas for a tank?
The M-1 Abrams tank holds 500 gallons of fuel. It can be either diesel or JP-8.
What kind of fuel does a Black Hawk run on?
Black Hawks use jet fuel. You can use: JP-8 (the current standard issue fuel) Jet-A Jet-A1 JP-4 Jet-B JP-5 There are three other jet fuels--JP-6, JP-7 and JPTS--you can't run in it, but they're very rare: JP-6 and JP-7 go in planes the Air Force doesn't have anymore, and JPTS only goes in the U-2. You can also run diesel in it, but diesel could be contaminated so they really don't recommend it. JP-8 was designed to be a universal fuel. It works in both turbine engines and in diesels. The government has transitioned to diesel engines everywhere they possibly could, and this fuel works in all of them. If you have absolutely no other option you can put gasoline in it but that cooks the engine in just a couple hours so they do not do it except under an emergency that hasn't happened yet.
Why used low sulfur diesel in military vehicle?
In NATO and most US aligned forces, they actually use JP-8, which is a kerosene derivative. As for why diesel would be preferable over unleaded gasoline/petrol, the reduced flammability of diesel, and advantage in low end torque produced by a diesel motor.
What fuel does Black Hawk use?
Black Hawks use jet fuel. You can use any of these fuels in one: Jet-A Jet-A1 JP-4 JP-5 JP-8 In a real emergency when aviation fuel wasn't available, you could run kerosene or diesel in it, but that's not something you do if you don't absolutely have to.
Why cant you use jp-8 in piston aircraft?
JP-8 is kerosene based. It is designed as a jet fuel; it can also be used in gas-turbines or in diesel engines, although it has caused some problems in diesel engines. It can't be used in gasoline engines because it is not sufficiently volatile. Diesel engines work by using very high compression ratios. To withstand these high compression ratios diesel engines need to be much more strongly built than gas engines; this makes them too heavy to be used in aircraft. There are a few piston aircraft engines that are available that will use this fuel. My avionics company has a diesel cessna. It has a service ceiling of 15K feet and gets there real fast.
How much does JP-8 fuel cost?
Standard JP-8 fuel costs about the same as regular gasoline at $3.60 per gallon as of June 2014. JP-8 or Jet Propellant 8 is a fuel used by the U.S. military for aircraft.
How much will it cost for 8 hours of driving?
It depends if you are using diesel or petrol. Diesel is more expensive so it would cost more.
What is the compsition of JP-8 fuel?
Gasoline and kerosene.
What is the compsition of JP 8 fuel?
Gasoline and kerosene.
What type of fuel is used for a turboprop engine?
Jet fuel--Jet A in the civilian world, usually JP-8 in the military. You can also put JP-4 or JP-5 in one.
